ADS Newsletter – November 2025
Nov 5, 2025
This month’s newsletter reinforces the importance of staying engaged in organized dentistry at both the state and national level.
This month’s Alaska Dental Society newsletter highlights how organized dentistry shapes the future of the profession. One major focus is on the American Dental Association’s House of Delegates (HOD) — the national body where policies and professional standards are debated and established. It’s here that decisions are made that influence everything from patient access to care, to insurance policy, to clinical and ethical guidelines. The newsletter emphasizes that Alaska’s presence in these discussions is essential, ensuring that the unique needs of rural practice, dental workforce challenges, and telehealth realities are represented.
